Normal vision. Advanced AMD causes significant visual impairment. Important information about the OCT examination for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) The macula is a small area of the retina that is particularly important for sharp vision. The term age-related macular degeneration (AMD) refers to degenerative changes in this area that can lead to vision loss and even blindness. There are two types of AMD: dry and wet. The dry form is characterized by debris deposits within the retina that can lead to atrophy of tissues. This form of the disease typically develops slowly and can go unnoticed for years resulting in significant, permanent vision loss. Your eye doctor can provide further advice for dry AMD patients. In contrast, wet AMD develops faster, often causing noticeable distortion of vision. There are a number of medical treatments for wet AMD. The earlier AMD treatment starts, the more effective it may be, so early diagnosis is essential. OCT is a very helpful tool to identify AMD.

Late stage of a proliferative diabetic retinopathy, which now also shows visual field defects that are visible for the patient. Early stage of diabetic retinopathy, which star ts to show slight visual field defects. With modern OCT examination, it can be detected early.

The disease causes an insufficient supply of oxygen and nutrients to the retina. If undetected, this can lead to increasing damage of the retinal vessels or to the formation of new porous blood vessels (profilerative diabetic retinopathy). With ongoing progression, the disease may cause the storage of fluid in the area of the retinal center (macular edema) or bleeding into the vitreous body. While diabetic retinopathy begins as a minor visual impairment, it can lead to blindness in advanced stages. Diabetic Retinopathy Diabetic Macular Edema Healthy Eye – OCT image of the macula Accumulation of fluid in the area of the retinal center In cooperation with: Understanding Glaucoma Important information about the OCT examination for glaucoma The term glaucoma refers to eye conditions associated with damage to a specific type of neuron in the eye. These are the cells that carry vision signals from the eye to the brain. One of the key risk factors for glaucoma is high pressure in the eye. The disease progresses very slowly over time. Due to the slow progression of the disease, vision loss often goes unnoticed during the early stages. There are a number of very effective treatments for glaucoma, and early diagnosis and treatment is necessary to preserve vision. One of the best tools doctors have to identify glaucoma is an OCT exam. Glaucoma 200060-004 GL.AE21 © Heidelberg Engineering GmbH Normal vision. Advanced glaucoma causes significant visual impairment. Early glaucoma damage can go unnoticed but may be detected with OCT examination.
